The definitive property of a spin-fluctuation d-wave-pairing superconductor is that cuprate-plane Cu-site Ni is a weaker Cooper-pair-breaker than Zn on the same site. None of the major high-temperature superconductors, except possibly YBa 2 Cu 3 O x, exhibits this property experimentally.

High temperature superconductivity in the cuprates remains one of the most widely investigated, constantly surprising and poorly understood phenomena in physics. Here, we describe briefly a new phenomenological theory inspired by the celebrated description of superconductivity due to Ginzburg and Landau and believed to describe its essence. This posits a free energy functional for the superconductor in terms of a complex order parameter characterizing it. We propose that there is, for superconducting cuprates, a similar functional of the complex, in plane, nearest neighbor spin singlet bond (or Cooper) pair amplitude ψij. Further, we suggest that a crucial part of it is a (short range) positive interaction between nearest neighbor bond pairs, of strength J′. Such an interaction leads to nonzero long wavelength phase stiffness or superconductive long range order, with the observed d-wave symmetry, below a temperature Tc~z J′ where z is the number of nearest neighbors; d-wave superconductivity is thus an emergent, collective consequence. Using the functional, we calculate a large range of properties, e.g., the pseudogap transition temperature T* as a function of hole doping x, the transition curve Tc(x), the superfluid stiffness ρs(x, T), the specific heat (without and with a magnetic field) due to the fluctuating pair degrees of freedom and the zero temperature vortex structure. We find remarkable agreement with experiment. We also calculate the self-energy of electrons hopping on the square cuprate lattice and coupled to electrons of nearly opposite momenta via inevitable long wavelength Cooper pair fluctuations formed of these electrons. The ensuing results for electron spectral density are successfully compared with recent experimental results for angle resolved photo emission spectroscopy (ARPES), and comprehensively explain strange features such as temperature dependent Fermi arcs above Tc and the "bending" of the superconducting gap below Tc.

The BCS superconducting theory, introduced by J. Bardeen, L. Cooper and R. Schriffer in 1957, succeeded in describing and satis-factorily explaining the nature of superconductivity for low-temperature superconductors. However, the BCS theory cannot explain the properties of high-temperature superconductors, discovered by J. G. Bednorz and K. A. Müller in 1986. Although scientists have found a lot of new superconductors and their transition temperatures are constantly increasing, most high-temperature superconductors are found by experiment and so far no theory can fully explain their properties. Many previous studies have suggested that the order parameter in high-temperature copper-based superconductors (cuprate superconductors - cuprates) is in the form of d-wave symmetry, but recent results show that the order parameter has an extended s-wave symmetry (extended s wave). Studying the symmetric forms of order parameters in cuprate can contribute to understanding the nature of high-temperature superconductivity. In this article, the authors present an overview of the development of high-temperature supercon-ductors over the past 30 years and explains unusual symmetries of the order parameter in copper-based superconductors. The com-petition of three coupling mechanisms of electrons in cuprates (the mechanism of coupling through coulomb repulsion, electron-phonon mechanism and spin-fluctuation mechanism) affects the unusual symmetry of the order parameter. The solution of the self-consistency equation in simple cases has been found and the ability to move the phase within the superconducting state has been shown.
